Can one cup of rice be cooked instead of five cups?

Yes, you can. I've never made five cups in mine. I always add a few drops of oil and then there's never a problem with the rice sticking to the bottom. I love this rice cooker and am so happy that I found one that doesn't have the toxic non-stick coating like my old one did.

Yes. I do it everyday. Just use 1 and half cup of water ( use the same cup for rice). Remember to leave the cooked rice in the pot for 10 minutes after you unplug. It helps to moisten the thick crust at the bottom.

Hi Karie - Yes, this rice maker works well with small amounts of rice also. We are two and seldom make more than 1 to 2 cups of rice.

Standard procedure of cooking rice is to take 1 cup of rice with 1.75-2 cups of water and soak it for 15 minutes before starting the cooker. The cooker automatically stops after cooking or it will switch to 'keep warm mode".

The provided instructions state this can cook up to 3 3/4 white rice yielding 8 cups cooked. Hope that helps. I've used mine several times a week since getting it and love it!

The smallest amount that we have cooked is 2 cups of rice. It cooks 2 cups of rice well. I don't know how much rice you eat, but for my wife and I, 2 cups of rice is too much rice for us.

you definitely can cook a one cup measure of rice, but i haven't tried anything less. the umami setting soaks the rice a bit longer and so you get a noticeably softer, moister, cooked rice.

One is for 10 cups max cooked rice. the other 4 cups of cooked rice. I have the 10 cups and would pick again. I can then make extra for dishes using cooked rice as in stir fry. One cooking, two meals (or more). This is a great machine. Have been using one for several years.

One cup is no problem. I find the rice on the Umani setting to have an excellent taste. Of course, you need to use a premium grade of Japanese table rice such as Tamanishiki Super Premium Short Grain Rice.

According to the chart that came with my rice cooker, the 5.5 cup cooker can be used to cook one cup of rice. This is the minimum size for all the three sizes of Zojirushi rice cookers.

I have cooked 1 cup of rice as the smallest quantity. I normally use 1 to 1 with my liquid (usually chicken, beef, vegetable or mushroom stock). Give it a try at 3/4 but use 1 cup of your stock and watch it carefully the first time. I bet it works just fine. Good luck!

two cups of water to one cup of rice. Depending on the texture of the rice you are looking for, you could add a touch more water for fluffy rice.

Yes, you can cook as much or as little rice as you want . Just make sure you cook with the right amount of water

It is usually 1 parts rice to 2 parts water. So for 10 cups of rice you use 5 cups of rice to 10 cups of water. Each back is not exactly this ratio so you adjust to each bag you open; example is adding 9.5 cups if the batch is too soggy.

Hello, I haven't tried the whole 5.5 cups. I mostly just make 3 cups of rice with the provided cup and it is enough for two of us just fine. Thanks!
